Our commitment to focused innovation allows Hewlett Packard Enterprise Server customers to do more with less. We bring it all together through Hewlett Packard Enterprise services, support and consulting and a broad network of partners, delivering a world-class server experience to your business.

Overview 4

Setup

Overview Installation of a server blade requires the following steps: 1. Install and configure a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. 2. Install any server blade options. 3. Install interconnect modules in the enclosure. 4. Connect the interconnect modules to the network. 5. Install a server blade. 6. Complete the server blade configuration.

Disassembling the enclosure Before installing the enclosure into the rack, you must disassemble the enclosure. Because a fully-populated enclosure can weigh up to 6.33 kg kg (13.96 lb lb), remove the components and the rear cage from the enclosure to make moving and installing the enclosure easier. Two people should work together to remove the rear cage from the enclosure. The empty enclosure with the rear cage installed weighs 58.6 kg (129 lb). When the enclosure is disassembled, the empty enclosure without the rear cage installed weighs 35.5 kg (78 lb). The empty rear cage weighs 23.2 kg (51 lb). 1. With the enclosure still on the pallet, remove all components from the front and rear of the enclosure.

2. Remove the rear cage: a. Loosen the thumbscrews and open the hinges completely.

Setup 5

b. Use the handles to extend the rear cage until the release levers engage on both sides of the rear cage.

c. Grasp the handholds below the release levers. d. Disengage the release levers on both sides of the rear cage.

CAUTION: When removing and lifting the rear cage, always grasp the handholds as far forward as possible. The front end of the rear cage is heavy and the handholds provide a more balanced location to distribute the weight of the cage during lifting.

CAUTION: When removing the rear cage and midplane assembly, the connectors on the midplane assembly are susceptible to damage. Use caution to avoid damage to the pins and connectors.

e. Use the handholds to extend and remove the rear cage from the enclosure.

Setup 6

Rack-free installation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free environment: • Never stack the enclosure on top of another enclosure. • Never place equipment on top of the enclosure. • Never place the enclosure on a surface that cannot support up to 6.33 kg kg (13.96 lb lb).

To set up the enclosure in a rack-free environment: 1. Select the location in which to set up the enclosure. For more information, see the site planning guide. 2. Disassemble the enclosure ("Disassembling the enclosure" on page 5). 3. Place the enclosure on a flat, sturdy surface to support the enclosure. 4. Install the rear cage into the enclosure. ("Installing the rear cage into the enclosure" on page 11)

Setup 7

Installing a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure Before performing any server blade-specific procedures, install a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. The most current documentation for server blades and other BladeSystem components is available at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/support/BladeSystem/docs).

Measuring with the rack template The rack template ships with the rack rail kit and provides detailed instructions on where to position the enclosure rack rails and where to install the four cage or clip nuts. Each enclosure kit includes the rack rails recommended for that enclosure.

NOTE: Four cage nuts and four clip nuts are included with the enclosure. Cage nuts should be used in racks with square holes. Clip nuts should be used in racks with round holes.

When installing multiple enclosures, install the rack rails and cage or clip nuts for one enclosure, and then install the enclosure. Repeat for each additional enclosure.

Installing the rack rails The rack rails are marked for easy identification. The left rack rail is marked "L" and the right rack rail is marked "R." To install the rack rails: 1. Begin with the left rack rail. Align the end of the rail with the rear rack column. 2. Slide the rack rail closed until the end of the rail is locked in place, wrapping behind the rear rack column.

Setup 8

3. Slide the front end of the rail to the rack front column. When fully seated, the rack rail will lock into place.

4. Repeat the procedure for the right rack rail.

Installing the enclosure into the rack The empty enclosure with the rear cage installed weighs 58.6 kg (129 lb). When the enclosure is disassembled, the empty enclosure without the rear cage installed weighs 35.5 kg (78 lb). The empty rear cage weighs 23.2 kg (51 lb).

WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift an enclosure into the rack. If the enclosure is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist with aligning the enclosure with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the enclosure.

To install the enclosure into the rack: 1. At the front of the rack, lift and align the enclosure guiding fins with the guiding groove in the rack rails.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the guiding fins on the enclosure seat properly in the guiding groove on the rack rail.

Setup 9

2. Push the handles down on each side of the enclosure, and slide the enclosure fully into the rack.

3. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the enclosure to the rack.

4. Install the rear cage into the enclosure. ("Installing the rear cage into the enclosure" on page 11) 5. Repeat the procedure for the remaining enclosures.

NOTE: Up to four 10U enclosures can be installed in a 42U rack. If you are installing more than one enclosure, install the first enclosure in the bottom of the rack, and then install additional enclosures by moving up the rack with each subsequent enclosure. Plan rack installation carefully because it is difficult to change the location of components after they are installed.

Setup 10

Installing the rear cage into the enclosure 1. Open all hinges completely.

2. Position the rear cage at the rear of the enclosure, and align the rear cage guiding fins with the guiding groove in the rack rails. 3. Slide the rear cage fully into the enclosure.

CAUTION: Do not touch or bump rear cage connector pins when installing the rear cage into the enclosure.

Setup 11

4. Close the hinges, and tighten the thumbscrews to secure the rear cage.

Installing server blade options Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server blade options, such as an additional processor, hard drive, or mezzanine card. For server blade options installation information, see the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server Blade User Guide in the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server Blade Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/support/BL460cGen9/docs).

Installing interconnect modules For specific steps to install interconnect modules, see the documentation that ships with the interconnect module.

Connecting to the network To connect the BladeSystem to a network, each enclosure must be configured with network interconnect devices to manage signals between the server blades and the external network. Two types of interconnect modules are available for BladeSystem c-Class enclosures: Pass-Thru modules and switch modules. For more information about interconnect module options, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/bladesystem/interconnects).

IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru module to a network device that supports Gigabit or 10 Gb speed, depending on the corresponding Pass-Thru model.

Installing a server blade

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade enclosure unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

CAUTION: Failure to install the divider in a quadrant when installing half-height blades can result in damage to the connectors on the server blades.

For the best possible BladeSystem and Virtual Connect experience, and to prevent a future reboot, Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires updating the Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect to the correct version before installing an ProLiant Gen9 server blade. The version information is located on the tag on the front of the server blade. For more information on this and other specific firmware and driver requirements, as well as the latest firmware and driver versions, download the SPP on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download). 1. Remove the device bay blank.

Setup 14

2. Remove the enclosure connector cover.

3. Install the server blade.

Completing the configuration To complete the server blade and BladeSystem configuration, see the overview card that ships with the enclosure.
